Nothing like pulling a stuck calf from a cow running loose in Fredricksburg while picking up your kids from school in the vet truck. That’s what our friend and colleague Dr. Julie Julie Carroll did yesterday! She’s the real Rockstar Vet. Only in ‘Merica!

Baddie Addi has been stolen!!! Sadly we had to say good bye to Addi this week because she took a job much closer to where she lives. She snuck into our hearts and became part of the team immediately and we are going to miss her so much! For those of you that find yourselves at Signature in Stephenville, make sure you stop in and give her a hard time about that. We already miss you Addison Elliot! We are happy for you and we know you will excel no matter where your journey takes you. There’s a special gift at the end of this reel and that is her laugh that we will miss the most!

It’s August and hot and everything is falling apart. Don’t forget to check all your tank floats and that the animals have continuous access to water. Amber fixed this one and Carlos helped. 🤣

This is the main way we obtain CSF from horses with suspect EPM. This is also a wonderful rant from our colleague explaining why it is necessary. Testing serum alone in Texas is a complete waste of money. We have found numerous “EPM positive” horses that have been treated with the correct EPM medications or worse, multiple compounded EPM meds, with minimal improvement. They sometimes get better from rest or from the increased feed efficiency of the drugs. Every single one that has presented to us as EPM have turned out to be either ear ticks, neck arthritis, THO, back pain or simply extremely painful feet. Once we address the actual issue the animal becomes normal. This doesn’t mean that we don’t have EPM in Texas. It simply means it is not as common as everyone thinks, more common in young or geriatric immunocompromised horses, and that testing is worth the expense to have a real diagnosis.
